obama's speech were totally amazing and you know i got a call from somebody at the r. and c. said to me he couldn't believe how angry president clinton sounded and i thought that is the craziest thing i've ever heard though he was like a sushi chef you know i mean he was full lay in the republicans but he did it with the biggest smile. i thought so too and you know he did give credit to president george w. bush for his pepfar program in africa which is the one thing i always give president george w. bush credit for so i think you did a good job. compared i mean i think you did a great job if republicans didn't really get much of a bounce coming out of their convention could this race get pretty lopsided coming if you know if there's this huge bump coming out of democrats and a going to happen and look i think we have to see what happens tonight the other thing is of course because of the tradition that the incumbent party goes last the problem is that everybody's paying more attention because it's after labor day. so that may also implements things quite a bit yeah you

bill: michelle obama's pleading for more patience. how tough is that as a political selling point when unemployment is 8 plus? >> well, i mean it is a tough sell, bill. it was a great speech. i think a speech of both conventions so far but if you look at last three elections, 2006, 2008, 2010, wave elections where the electorate has been very angry. a lot of people think we're on the wrong track. when you're pleading for patience it is a very difficult sell. that's why i think president obama will be attacking mitt romney on thursday night because he needs to say this is not necessarily a referendum on him but a choice between two different directions. bill: what viewers at home may not have seen unless they were watching earlier in the night, are the many appeals and speeches to abortion and pro-choice here in charlotte and the appeals directly to the auto bailout. what is the strategy there, bob, on both? >> well, bill, i think on the abortion, it is getting the base out. both mitt romney and obama, they need their base out. so when
